  6. Referring a patient for DBT Ideally, • Ensure that the diagnosis of BPD is confirmed and that the patient has a clear understanding of the therapy • Provide a detailed referral, completed jointly with the patient. Highlight problematic behaviours. • Include background information

  7. The Assessment • Welcome and orientate the patient to the treatment • Explore patient’s views on diagnosis • Confirm and update referral information • Assess commitment • Complete a diagnostic examination using validated instruments • Offer a prompt and solution focused outcome

  8. Assessment Instruments • Structured Clinical Interview for DSM IV Axis II Personality Disorder (SCID II) (First et al, 1995) - Assesses personality disorders either categorically or dimensionally using DSM IV • It is a semi-structured clinical interview. • Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines DIB-R(Revised Version) (Zanarini et al, 1989)

  9. Pre-treatment Preparing your patient for therapy • The structure and the theory of the DBT • The targets – DBT’s and the patient’s • The contract and consenting to treatment • The rules – telephone, individual and group • Chain analysis • The diary card

Full DBT The manualised therapy consists of • Weekly individual therapy session (with DBT therapist) for 1 year • Weekly Skills Group training (with DBT trained facilitators) a 6 month programme, repeated. • Arranged telephone consultation • Consultation group supervision (for therapists all DBT)

  11.

  13. Telephone Consultation • All calls must be before a patient engages in self-harming/suicidal behaviours • The patient does not require to be suicidal to initiate telephone consultation; patient has to be in crisis/unable to cope with problems in living • Telephone consultation is designed to teach the patient how to apply DBT skills • Should be brief, skills based and in line with the telephone strategy checklist
